Independence
Doing things for yourself, making your own decisions about how you live. Most people are not fully independent and rely on others for advice, or assistance. We call this interdependence. People with intellectual disability need more help than other people to do things they want to do. It is important not to give too much help or support as this makes people too dependent on others and can take away their choice and control.
